Chapter 1104: Chapter 574: Mad Hunt Deity: Come Find Me! (3)
Furthermore, unlike the other deities, the Father God and my siblings vanish without a trace in both life and death.
What’s wrong with wanting to find the Father God and my siblings?
If not for the Father God’s protection, humanity would have already been devoured by the Pantheon in the Mythological Era. The little contribution they can offer should be seen as an honor for their sacrifice."
The will of the "Divine Aspect" remains steadfast, even though suppressed, carrying with it a sense of societal rules and morality:
"This is no excuse for your continual disregard for human life..."
Byron momentarily set aside his recent find and attentively listened to the self-monologue of the "Traitor".
The core issue is why, among the three divine systems that emerged during the Mythological Era: the Ancient Silver Empire’s Jupiter Divine System, the Bayfolk Wild Hunt Deity System, and the Remit Paternal Deity System.
Why is it that only the [Creator] Church, evolved from the [Holy Father] Divine System, remains today, while the other two have disappeared?
For years, the "Traitor" searched across the Silver Continent and also ventured through world rifts in search of the Sea of Origin Matter.
He even traveled the world in a soul-excursion under Dante’s identity, yet his lengthy epic poem "Divine Comedy," despite covering the Material World, yielded no results.
He confirmed that the other two divine systems neither survived the Great Flood to live in some corner of the world nor drowned in the Primordial Ocean, becoming decayed, fallen corpses like other deities.
Leveraging his long-established connections in both the lawful and unlawful realms, he searched the entire Material World but found no sects inheriting their knowledge to form a corresponding Black Witchcraft Society.
This also meant that the two divine systems were entirely cut off from the Material World and could not disseminate their knowledge.
He even visited the Ten Great Undersea Kingdoms of the Eastern Continent, especially the Mermaid Kingdom holding the Zero-Level Sacred Relic, the [Sea King’s Trident].
Initially, he was overjoyed, thinking he found an exception, as [Sea King] Neptune theoretically was indeed least likely to drown.
Yet, after observing from the shadows for a while, he was disappointed to find reality differed greatly from what he imagined.
The ancestors of the Mermaid Kingdom were not the true [Sea King] Neptune but a mythological story revived from history, like the "Traitor".
The medium was the trident head that fell into the Sea of Monsters during the Twilight of the Gods.
In places like the [Corridor of Truth], certain Sacred Relics can indeed summon ancient existences from history, how much they relate to their historical prototypes remains unclear.
For this reason, when [Noah’s Ark] obliterated eight of the Ten Great Undersea Kingdoms, leaving the remaining two in jeopardy, the "Traitor" remained indifferent.
In his eyes, benefiting from the Silver Empire’s divine system yet failing to reciprocate, not "rescuing" the missing Silver gods like him, was a path to destruction.
After listening to their conversation, Byron remained silent:
"The ’Traitor’ turned against humanity for this reason? Or rather maintained extreme hostility towards the Creator and the Church.
Nevertheless, speaking of principles of convergence by similar paths.
The deity most akin to me should be [God of the Wild Hunt] Woden, yet I have never discovered his kin or church in the mortal world.
And as Woden’s direct lineage, the Forbidden Book inherited by the Harrold Family of Iron Anchor Bay should originate from the Gulf Divine Lineage, yet why is it the "Calamity Curse" from the [Rift Whale Leviathan]?
Thus, Mercurius’s search for the Ancient Silver Divine System throughout an entire era might truly be outside the Material World, not at the Edge of the World, nor in the Primordial Ocean.
Then where could it be?" freёwebnovel.com
The seventh-order true god with whom Byron exchanged glances, even seeing a black void of an eye socket, he was certain it was the Mythological Era’s Bayfolk God-King [Prophecy, Royal Iron, and Wild Hunt God] Woden!
Moreover, it conveyed information, urging Byron to find him like Mercurius of the Ancient Silver Empire’s divine system did.
Byron pondered this.
The inkblot from the Sailing Logbook blurred, [Hidden: Prophecy, Royal Iron, and Wild Hunt God Woden’s Ethnicity Revival Prophecy, Historical Influence 69] decryption rate jumped from 70% to 73%.
Indicating that the issue among the three deity systems is not solely Mercurius’s problem but also an issue for him, a descendant of the Bayfolk.
"The search must undoubtedly continue.
The Creator’s collapse must also be faced eventually.
However, why three again this time? This number inexplicably draws attention."
Byron touched his right eye, whose origins may not be entirely ordinary, casting an uncertain gaze toward the "Traitor".
Thinking that it might not be a good idea to ambush and kill Mercurius right now.
They shared a common goal in the quest to find the two chief gods.
But considering historical influence, it will surely be fraught with dangers.
Letting this diligent "Traitor" take risks for him is utilizing resources to the fullest, just as he intends to take advantage of the struggle between him and Louis XI.
Most importantly.
Louis XI clearly topped Mercurius’s must-kill list, ranking even higher than Byron.
One is "personal vendetta," the other "public enemy". The priority for vengeance naturally differs, and without killing Louis XI, Mercurius would not bother Byron further.
Then the "Traitor" once more turned to an empty page of the "History of the Silver Continent".
